Dear @Duncan Lucas, thanks for your comment, they are welcome.
You are correct and a lot of stuff just hasn't survived the years. There was also the wanton destruction of the libraries at Alexandria and such like that must have seen alot of ancient material destroyed for ever. However, if they can unearth things such as the Dead Sea Scrolls then it is possible that stuff from that era could survive, but we're not seeing it, anywhere, ever. Jesus was not the simple carpenter the catholic religion punts to their people so he must have left some physical evidence behind.
I meant no disrespect to Mohammed, by the way. It's just that I personally do not believe anything another human tells me to be the truth, until I can verify it myself.
These same humans have tended to get hot under the collar(so-to-speak) and start to use fear, threats & force to ensure you eventually fall in line with their teachings. When that happens, and it has numerous times through the centuries, then an alterior motive is obvious and their quest has nothing to do with expanding the peaceful teachings of a wise man and everything to do with expanding a business. Regards
Quite true PETER=But to preserve any writing in those days. It would need to be put in earthenware vessels as per the "Dead SEA SCROLLS"and hidden.There is very little paperwork remaining of "The Dark Ages"of England for example.And thats why its called that.As a follower would say when asked what MOHAMMED would say=read The KORAN. I have many parts are like the Bible And in judging others it isnt much different from the old testament.Around which Israel takes its views of the world.Read Joshua There is blood flowing all the time.
Makes u appreciate the wisdom of the US founding fathers. They fully understood tyranny and its insatiable want to control. That is not liberty.
Firs t Amendment to the US Constitution: Con gress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Don't forget that most regilious writings are done by third parties. I don't see any hand-written stuff out there from Jesus, anywhere, and as a carpenter he would have to deal with mathmatics so should have been able to write.
The hypocrisy of two countries who are "FRIENDS" of ISRAEL and US is amazing>Those 2=countries who are ANTI-ARAB and ANTI-MUSLIM have killed MILLIONS of MUSLIMS over the years and yet they "put themselves about" saying "we are upholding the laws of THE PROPHET".Who would never forgive them for doing the work of DEVILS.They have NO moral high ground.when saying "We uphold the VALUES of ISLAM".In their own way they are helping to destroy Muslims.By taking their "orders" from the west.They make the Islamic religion of NO effect.
well then if you tell the truth about mohamed then you could go in jail. he was a psypath that used to make contact with evil spirits and used to have white foam getting out of his mouth during his so called "visions" and it is said in the bible that anyone who denies the son is an antichrist.
